 * I just wanted to add some social media buttons to my site, but I have no idea
   what this is. I can’t customise which buttons appear, and which URLs they link
   to! (Well, maybe I can if I spend a couple of days ploughing through all manner
   of APIs and such on their website and take a masters in programming). Uninstalled.

 * Hi Paul.
 * It sounds like our follow buttons plugin might be more along the lines of what
   you were looking for.
 * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/addthis-follow/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/addthis-follow/)
 * That follow buttons plugin gives you a widget you can configure for your sidebar
   that’ll give social icons and link them to your profile on different sites, so
   that your visitors can follow you on Twitter or Instagram or see your LinkedIn
   profile (just to name a few).
 * This sharing buttons plugin will add buttons above or below your posts that makes
   it easy for your visitors to share the URL for that post into their personal 
   social feeds, like tweeting about an article to their own followers, or posting
   an article on Facebook for their friends to see. After enabling sharing buttons
   for a location (like above posts), you can choose “select your own” under services
   and hand pick the sharing buttons you want displayed, though we don’t recommend
   that for most people. If you leave it on auto-personalization, AddThis will automatically
   pick services personalized for each user based on what we’ve seen them use on
   other sites — so people who never use Pinterest might be shown a different, less
   popular service because we know they’ve shared to it via our buttons before. 
   Auto personalization boosts overall shares.
 * Thanks,
    Julka
